Well, quite a few days have passed since the last comment, so probably this string is dead. I just found it because I was trying to find out more about the Kopp-Etchells Effect. It was 'plonk' who started to take the comments off-topic and for that he should receive a plonk to the head. Of course, once he made his innapropriate comment about soldiers, everything let loose. But he does have the freedom to say what he likes. I think it is best for people to recognize this and remember that we all have the right to ignore comments we do not agree with.
